Hi falks, my rig is in the signature but I'm experiencing pretty bad coil whine and I don't know exactly where from. Maybe I'm just imagining but I already can hear it in idle. Even with V-Sync it's still there. While ingame and with plugged in front out headphones I can even hear buzzing from the headphones itself. For example, when I launch ETS 2 the coil whine it's pretty bad in the menu. I think it's from the GPU or the PSU. How can I check? I have Corsair CX500 in the other rig. Do you think I can try with it? Will it be enough for my system. I also recorded a video, which you can see here:

Plugging the headphones into the rear out eliminates the buzzing coming from them while ingame. But what should I do with the coil whine? How can I see where this coil whine is coming from? I have Corsair CX500 in my other rig and maybe I can try with it. Can't see if it's from GPU or PSU.
